Xtra Pair of Hands DC

Donna, Thank you so much for your service. Steve was the consummate professional. I turned things over to him and never looked back. And when I finally went into the kitchen at the end of the party, all the food had been pulled and put away. All the dishes and cutlery had been washed. I would definitely recommend Steve and your service if asked and will definitely reach out for my next party. Many thanks again. Rich G.

Sandra and Adrian were the perfect xtra pair of hands needed for my son’s event! They knew exactly what needed to be done to make our graduation open house special. Good value and well worth the money for peace of mind while hosting event at my home.

We had a party last weekend and Xtra Pair of Hands DC was outstanding! The team was so helpful, kind and on top of everything. They were also so nice to all of the guests. We have worked with this team on three separate occasions and look forward to working with them for many more. They are the best!!

Highly recommend this company. I hired them for a party last weekend and the server and bartender were extremely professional and proactive so that they were able to handle everything and I could enjoy the party. It was great and I’ll look to hire them again in the future. Thank you!

Donna was fantastic! She was on time, patient, helpful, and kind. She helped me put the finishing touches on prep and then took care of everything so that I could enjoy my party.

This company is always fantastic! Steve was a huge help with serving, setting up, and clean up. I will continue to use their services.

Xtra Pair of Hands is EXCEPTIONAL! We have used their services for years and will continue to do so. Their staff are consistently professional, helpful, punctual, easy to work with... I can't say enough about this company. A true gem. With a clear conscious, I would recommend them in a heart beat.

In the 9 years that I personally worked with Donna at our monthly piano salon parties, Donna was amazing. She is wonderful. I miss her since I’ve left town. Donna was warm and friendly and I enjoyed getting to know her. Everything was always done in the best possible way.

We have used Xtra Pair of hands for many years to help with dinner parties and celebrations large and small. Donna Morris is amazing! She is professional but warm and friendly. She is usually at our events herself but when she is unavailable her team is terrific. Highly recommend!!!!

She was the best! From the first moment she was working with a sense of urgency. And that's not to say that she was charging around pushing anyone out of the way. She just made everything happen so smoothly. I'll be recommending her and this company at every opportunity. I can hardly imagine throwing a like that without her going forward. She was a consummate professional and that gave us great confidence. It was a first rate experience all round.

It was great. I have used X-tra pair Hands for a number of parties, large and small and the staff is always on time and very professional.

Wonderfully! How I threw a party before in my home without Donna’s extra set of hands is beyond me. My husband and I enjoyed ourselves immensely without having to worry about the food, drinks, ice, garbage etc... and donna’s professionalism with our guests and in our home was perfect.

Great! Having Abena from an Xtra Pair of Hands there to help truly made our annual holiday party better than ever. My co-host and I always feel like we spend most of the party clearing plates and refilling dishes and not nearly enough time talking to our guests. Abena helped us set up for the party, cleaned dishes as needed, and kept clearing plates and filling or clearing empty dishes. We have said for years that we wanted to hire someone to help us with this party and we're so glad we did! With Abena there, we could really enjoy our guests! We could finish conversations! She was a great help and also a lovely person to have around.

Fantastic! I totally relaxed for the first time on Thanksgiving despite 31 guests (and I did all the cooking)

Every event we have used Xtra Pair of Hands has been great.

Exceptionally well. She set up for my party, anticipated every guest's need, keep the buffet table well-stocked, clean and beautiful. She was so professional. I have seen or experienced service so good. A+ on everything. Truly remarkable.

Xtra Pair of Hands staff are true professionals who worked seamlessly and tirelessly throughout the party. They all have a fantastic "can do" attitudes and are a pleasure to work with. It got kind of crazy and loud and crowded, but they all calmly just did what needed to be done, anticipating my needs better than I could have. I found not one used napkin or cup anywhere the next morning! ;)

The assistant sent to help me was fabulous. When she arrived, she quickly became acclimated to her surroundings and jumped right in. She helped to greet guests, pass food, kept food refilled and cleaned up. The morning after the party, I looked around my house and everything was clean and put away. I am extremely pleased with the assistance and will use this company in a heartbeat if I need help again.

It went great. They helped with ordering supplies up front and organized for the servers. Everyone arrived on time and did a great job. We got to enjoy our party and things got served and cleared away etc without our intervention. At the end, the house was spotless, all the leftover food was put away and everything cleaned up. We will definitely use them again.

Xtra Pair of Hands assisted with our Holiday Open House party and enabled me to mingle with our guest and enjoy the day. Would definitely recommend and will be using again.

Outstanding, professional help. She knew, better than I, what needed to be done and performed the tasks with charm and efficiency.

Deanne and Sandra did an amazing job replenishing drinks and food and keeping things tidy throughout the evening. They were incredibly helpful cleaning and packing up all the leftover food, wine, beer, etc. I've used Donna and her team many times in the past and recommend them all the time. They are the best!

Both the bartender and food server were great. I had them come an hour before the party to get set up. The food server completely took over heating food that was prepared, arranged it on platters, and brought it into the party at regular intervals. I didn't have to worry about a thing. They also kept up with cleaning up, so at the end of the party, there was very little to do. I paid $30 an hour per person, and tipped them additionally at the end of the evening.

I contacted them through Angie's List and did not get a reply. I then called and received an email a few days later, asking when a good time to call me would be. I replied with a time to call and inquired as to a good time to talk if my proposed time wouldn't work. I never heard back.

These ladies were indispensable and worth every penny. I worked with Donna, the owner to schedule two servers to help me with my house party of 65+ guests. Donna was great, extremely responsive, flexible and professional. Abena, took charge and made sure everything was running smoothly, and Eunice was great also. I ended up extending them for an extra hour because my guests came early and stayed late. They watched the grill, set up the buffet, served food, replenished signature drinks and supplies, emptied trash, kept things neat and tidy and most importantly, allowed me to actually enjoy my party. It was worth every penny and I highly recommend this service for anyone who needs an extra pair of hands!
